Dedicated for all those that have suffered abuse and rape.Song: Emilie Autumn I want my innocence back.
Poem:
(fyi, some of the lines may be a tad bit dfferent, i think i changed it up a bit, but most of it is accurate)
In just one moment
Just a heartbeat of time
You took away my innocence
And all that was mine
My strength drained away
With it my smile, laugh for each day
You took away my will to live
You took all that I had to give
My heart is mangled
My feelings tangled
You don't know what you've done
And you don't care
with you left my freedom
This shame is more than I can bare
Could it have been my fault?
Could I have stopped this all?
If I hadn't smiled
If I hadn't returned his call
Or was it just the stranger
I passed by on the street
Every time I passed him
He stared down at his feet
Could it be the guilt?
Does he know what he has done?
Or could it be he doesnt know
That I am the one
I was just another victim
Just another girl to prey upon
I was just another pretty face
To to move to sway to hurt on
Maybe I was mistaken
It could be the wrong man
He couldn't have done this to me
A liar is what I am
Or could it be the fear
That with the truth will go my world
If everyone finds out
I'm not that innocent girl
If I just stay quiet
and force a smile on my face
All will be forgotten
And I can live on in this place
Because with the truth comes the shame
That all will turn their eyes on me
Will they think I'm lying?
Will they think I'm just easy?
Will anyone understand
The pain that comes with each day?
The shame the hurt the sorrow
The life I've thrown away
Because I'm not the person I used to be
She has left, her mind is free
In her place in a tormented soul
Torn apart what once was whole
That man, that person, that took it away
He walks on free
He'll never pay
And I'll be faced with what remains
Of the life he shattered
And I forgave
For I never spoke up
I never spoke out
Concealed is the truth
With my blanket of doubt
Maybe one day I'll find my voice
The one he stole for I had no choice
And I'll tell the world what he has done
I'll tell the truth when I cannot run
And I'll hope time wont be too late
I want him to die
I want him to pay
Let his dignity be stolen
Let his heart and soul be raped
Let me gain back what I lost
Let me take control of my fate
Because rape hurts more than the body
It hurts the heart and soul
Rape takes it away and it will be forever gone
If we don't find the courage
To pick up the pieces and move on
Stop the silence
Give back the hope
Let the truth be heard...
Real men dont rape
